SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan. 24, 2018 — The ENRICH in the USA Network was launched in San Francisco today. It will provide information and support services to EU innovators and researchers wishing to expand their activities to the US. It will focus on accelerating access to the US innovation ecosystem, and maximizing growth opportunities.

The services will include bootcamps, innovation tours, “match and pitch” events as well as the provision of “soft landing hubs” for individuals selected following competitive calls for applications. The next calls will be published on 22 February online at www.enrich-usa.eu. The Network, led by the European Business and Innovation Centre Network and the International Business Innovation Association, is funded with a grant from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

The San Francisco Centre is hosted at the European American Enterprise Council.
